Liked: Amenities
It was satusfactory, but overpriced. An issue with a stained carpet was not adequately dealt with. Basic, no special feel to it ascompared with other New Zealand hotels we stayed at. Expected more, especially at Christmas! Didnt feel luxurious. Adequate for an overnight. Lake view blocked with buildings with ads on then. Really just a peep view.
